Macaw Toys

]]> Macaw ToysAll parrots should be given lots of toys to keep them mentally stimulated and amused, and the Macaw is certainly no different. However, when choosing Macaw toys, you need to pay particular attention to the strength and durability of the toys, because Macaws have extremely strong beaks and claws that are able to destroy virtually anything.

Macaws love hanging toys, and any kind of toys that they can climb on, such as parrot towers. They also get a great deal of mental stimulation from treat-stuffed toys, which need to be dismantled to extract the treats. Another great choice is foot toys, because they will help your Macaw with his co-ordination.

A simple online search for Macaw toys will provide you with more choice than you know what to do with. However, one word of caution when choosing parrot toys – make sure they are made by a responsible, and reputable parrot toy manufacturer. The reason I say this is that it has been recently discovered that a number of toys on the market have been made from materials that are poisonous to parrots.
